    Please give me your honest opinion on my shoes! :  wedding P2230192Hi Bees,

    I had always wanted a fun "wow" shoe. I had hoped to find a colourful one but couldn't so I decided to get this pair as I felt they still had that wow factor. But not only are they really not that comfortable (could be fixed with gel inserts), they are super high and I'm worried they look a little too racy for a wedding. My FI loves them, but I think he's just biased because he says they are "really hot" lol.

    Please give me your honest opinion on my shoes! :  wedding P22301891So could you please give me your honest opinion on them. I don't know if I should just stick with them or keep hoping I can find something else. Thanks!

    What does your dress look like?

    I think the shoes are really great, and people aren't really going to see that much of them.

    Is your dress long? Will anyone really see them and think, "My god, that's racy!"

    I assume that if you showed your shoes to guests, they'd find them fun and cute for your day.

    I think they are great! But it is hard to tell without knowing what your dress looks like! :-)

    I think they are great!  I got gold glittery shoes myself.  Who cares what anyone else thinks.  It's your day to shine!

    There's a pic of my dress so you guys know what the whole idea would be. It's not super formal nor is the venue, but I just wanted fun non-traditional shoes.

    @summerbride12: I think they are great. They are fun and sparkly and if that's you and fits your personality, then go for it!

    If you were wearing them with a mini skirt and tube top, that might be too racy. Wink

    I think they'd work great with your dress. They are both sort of classic silhouettes but the glitter adds a wow factor.

    They're really pretty, but if they're not comfortable, that really wouldn't be fun on your wedding day.  There are so many shoes out there, including many that LOOK like that shoe that might be more comfortable. For what it matters, I don't think they look racy at all.

    I voted "other."  They are definitely "wow" shoes.  I think they are "super hot" as your fiance says,  but the question is: is that what you want for your wedding?  If the answer is yes, then go for it.  The comfort thing would be a deal breaker for me personally though.  Comfort is very important if you are going to be on your feet and/or dancing for hours on end.

    I just found out that my FMIL has a P.O. box that I could have some shoes mailed to (I don't live in the States). These shoes are supossed to be comfortable (based on the reviews.

    Does anyone prefer these pink shoes to the silver ones? They were more what I had imagined myself getting in the first place but didn't think it was possible based on my location. They are still a wow colour and have a bit of bling, but not so in your face.
     I'm just worried that the silver will look weird because the rest of my colours are so warm, golds, pinks and yellows. Plus my bridesmaids are wearing gold shoes lol.

    I voted for other because it's not really my style, even though I do think they're pretty. But if you like them then go for it.  I think if they didn't have an open back they wouldn't look as "racy."  But they're not that racy in a negative way.  Just practice a lot because those heels are super high!  And if they aren't comfy see if a gel insert will help.

    I really don't think they are too racy. Any really high heel may look racy if its worn with revealing clothing, but as long as they arent 6" platform heels bought from an adult themed store, then I really dont think many shoes will look too racy with a wedding dress. They are hot, but that's a good thing!

    I'm generally not a huge fan of sparkles, but those are definitely wow shoes! What a fun twist on colored shoes! Are your accessories/jewelry going to fit the sparkly theme too? (I think that would help the overall look since your dress really doesnt seem to have any/much bling on it). As others have said though, if they are uncomfortable, then I would keep an eye out for a more comfortable pair (either for the whole day or atleast for part of it to switch into after these get too uncomfortable...gel pads can only do so much!)

    While I was writing my earlier post, you posted the pink ones...I think I'm changing my vote, especially after you described the colors in your wedding.

    I vote for the pink ones! :D

     

    Also, can I ask where you found the pink ones??

    ohhh sparkley, Love them. I love a high heel, wish i could rock one on my wedding day. FI and I are basically the same height and I don't want to be taller in all our pics. Normally for our date nights I throw on my heels and he loves them, but not for this day. Rock those bad boys!!!

    @Pwitty: I found them on zappos.com. I wish they had as nice ones, and as good a shipping/return policy on the Canadian website though, it would be so much easier!

    I couldn't vote because I love both the sparkly ones AND the pink ones and couldn't decide. I'm sure that's not much help, but just wanted to let you know that I think you can't go wrong with either. They are certainly hot, but your dress is very classy so they wouldn't look over the top seductress--more like just the right mix of demure and minxish!

    I don't think there is such a thing as too racy of a shoe unless clear plastic is involved. I love the silver shoes. I think they are gorgeous and I would definitely wear them. I do also like the pink ones you suggested since they are in your color palette but I prefer the silver ones.

    Thanks for all the opinions! I still can't decide so I think I'm going to order the pink ones too and then compare them when my dress comes in.

    Thanks everyone! :)

    I think the silver shoes are hot!  I was thinkin the same.  The pink ones a cute too, where are they from?  I would say go with your color scheme.  I've seen those sparkly shoes in gold as well.  Steve madden has them but in pumps I think.
